Evolution 2

2009-06-21T22:52:00.000-07:00

"On behalf of all organisms that have ever lived: not a single one of our ancestors died before they reached adulthood and begot at least one child. In a world where most organisms die before they can procreate, descendants are common but ancestors are rare. But we can all claim an unbroken chain of successful ancestors all the way back to the first single-celled organism."

The matrilineal nearest common ancestor to all of humanity is the Mitochondrial Eve. In other words when you trace back all of the females who ever lived from there mothers to their grandmothers and so on. In short all living humans today are related to this one person by at least one parent. This was done using a process of tracing the human lineage back words through mitochondrial pathways. Now this is not to say that the Mitochondrial Eve was the only female of her era. She lived among an entire population of males and females but she is special because only her ancestors survived until now. Now the Mitochondrial Eve is also not our most recent common ancestor but only the matrilineal nearest common ancestor.
"The MRCA answers the question, "Do any of my four grandparents overlap with any of your four grandparents? If not, then do any of my 8 great grandparents overlap with any of your 8 great grandparents?" Between one-hundred and two-hundred generations back, a single person will appear in every living person's family tree. However, each person has only one mitochondrial ancestor with each generation backwards because each person inherits their mitochondria from their mother. The question of "when did Mitochondrial Eve live?" is answering the question of "When does my mother's mother's mother ... overlap with everyone else's mother's mother's mother ... (all the way up the female lineage)?"
Since we are all born with Mitochondria from our mothers Scientist need only to trace this Mitochondria back til they reached Mitochondrial Eve.

This Mitochondrial Eve is believed to have lived 170,000 years ago in Africa. She was an anatomically modern Homo Sapien and lived in a time before humans began to migrate out of Africa and into the rest of the world.

Y chromosomal Adam is an entirely different story. Now Y chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve lived at entirely different times. Adam was an african man who lived 60,000 years ago.

"By analyzing the Y-chromosome DNA from males in all regions of the world, geneticist Spencer Wells has concluded that all humans alive today are patrilinealy descended from a single man."

Y chromosomal Adam is the only man from his time to have a single unbroken family line to modern day similarly to Eve their contemporaries had family lines that would eventually end.

It's kinda interesting that not relatively not that long ago all of our common ancestors lived in Africa not knowing that their family lines would continue for so many generations. Even still this is only the tip of ice burg when compared to the Universal common ancestor who is in other words every living creature on earths ancestor.

Evolution 1

2009-06-19T01:40:00.000-07:00

"And lastly, a thought for the right-wingers out there: At some point half of you was an egg in your Mother’s womb. That egg existed in her body from the day she was born. And a long, long time ago, she too was an egg in her Mother’s womb, who had that egg ready for use from the moment she squirmed out of your Great Grandma’s nethers. The point being, technically speaking, there’s no break in the chain of existence, no time when you are not a life form of at least the most rudimentary sort. Your family, at least on your Mother’s side, could theoretically be considered an immortal, constantly-regenerating organism. Of course that would make men, whose sperm has to be created years after the moment of birth, just disposable donors here to fuel the everlasting fire of womanhood. You go girls!" -Cracked.com

I'm always amazed when I think about life and the beginnings of where us as a species and us inhabitants of earth originated. From my limited knowledge all human life originates from one person who lived thousands of years ago who evolved from a proto species of ape who evolved from a proto species of mammal who evolved from a proto species of fish who evolved from a single celled organism that evolved out of amino acids creating chemical reactions in the primordial soup 3.5 billions of years ago. This all not being possible without the help of water. There are many theories on where water on earth originated I dont know which ones are the most trusted. It seems all we can do is speculate for now. According to wikipedia the main theories are-
* The cooling of the primordial Earth to the point where the outgassed volatile components were held in an atmosphere of sufficient pressure for the stabilization and retention of liquid water.
* Comets, trans-Neptunian objects or water-rich meteorites (protoplanets) from the outer reaches of the asteroid belt colliding with a pre-historic Earth may have brought water to the world's oceans. Measurements of the ratio of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and protium point to asteroids, since similar percentage impurities in carbon-rich chondrites were found to oceanic water, whereas previous measurement of the isotopes' concentrations in comets and trans-Neptunian objects correspond only slightly to water on the earth.
* Biochemically through mineralization and photosynthesis (guttation, transpiration).
* Gradual leakage of water stored in hydrous minerals of the Earth's rocks.
* Photolysis: radiation can break down chemical bonds on the surface.

I kinda like the comet one but that's just me. Now all life came from single celled microbe like organisms in water which wouldnt be here without the planet earth itself.

The planet earth originated when our solar system (which was comprised of a cloud of dust and gas spiraling around in a giant disk shape) began to spin at such a rate that all the mass contained within collected in the middle of this giant disk. sort of like when you toss a penny into those spirally things. I have no idea what they are called but you get the idea. all of this mass began to heat up because of moving so rapidly and started to form proto planets from the debris of the crushing mass. all of this matter heating up in the center had no where to go and was getting extremely hot. "nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium began, and eventually, after contraction, a T Tauri star ignited to create the Sun." 4.54 billion years ago our planet was born.

Now all of this planet making business came about because of the debris left over from the big bang the start of the entire story of all of our lives.

In conclusion, every single person place thing constalation planet star gas or microbe originated from the same source. We are all connected, we are all one being one organism one life. I find it fascinating.

The Hole

2009-04-14T21:50:00.000-07:00

My eyelids snapped open like an alarm only to be greeted with the horrible reminder that all I had to meet was darkness. All that I am left with are my thoughts as I try to cope with my newfound surroundings. It seems only when you're in a place like this that you begin to appreciate the little things. Little things like simple sunlight. I must have passed out hours ago, but I have no way of knowing anything anymore. I couldn't tell you how long I've been sitting in this cold, black tomb. The last thing I remembered was punching the face of one of the guards. Then it all went black. Guess they threw me in the hole. It's not like this is the first time I pissed them off, but, damn, I wanted to avoid this place. I ran my fingers along the cold brick. Don't even have the luxury of a crack of light to know if it's day or night. Little droplets of water touched my finger pads as I continued to graze the crumbling brick. I heard the squeaks and shuffles of small vermin running along the floor near my feet. A deep disgust started to contort in the bowels of my stomach. Four cold, stone walls. A damp, freezing floor. This is my reality. I understood now as I laid my back against the crumbling masonry. Once I had given up thinking, I began to count. There is no sense in counting whether I counted numbers or breaths in my lungs. My thoughts drift to the life that I left behind, but that doesn't matter now. My stomach is beginning to feel like it's clinging to my ribs and those mice are sounding more and more appetizing. Has it been days now? I thought it was only hours. They can't leave me in here for weeks, could they? It is possible. I've heard some stories of men just left in here to die. I wonder if they can see me now, laughing at the panic on my face. I'm sure the guards have forgotten me. By my own estimate, a week has passed now and I have not slept. I hardly ever close my eyes. There's hardly a difference now. Day by day the walls have gotten closer to me. I believe it began a week ago. I swear I feel the water at my feet. The murky depths that rise day by day have already drowned the rats. Occasionally, I will feel one of their bloated bodies drift against my feet. I decide not to let myself be devoured by this hole and formulate a way to escape. I tear strips of cloth from my shirt to fasten myself a noose. Wrapping my makeshift instrument around my neck, I feel my way around the ceiling to find somewhere to tie it. Finally a stroke of luck. There is a small series of pipes along the ceiling. Tightening the knot, I hold my breath and thought of...nothing. That's when the door opened.

I miss my hair

Reflecting now on this 2nd year of CCS I feel like me and my class have all grown a lot. I know I am changing and growing as a person. My social skills have progressed a lot since my first semesters here I know that for sure. An aspect of this year I am most happy and thankful for is all the new friends and acquaintances I have made in this time. It just makes my experience here so much better to be able to interact with such great people I can relate to and make jokes with. Of course theres still a lot of stupid people but at least we can laugh about it.
Also I feel like my teachers this year have been a lot better and easy to relate to than last year. Eugene for one is someone who really won me over. Eugene was my reviewer for my first year here and he was brutally honest and up front with me and really made me think all summer about what the hell I was doing. Looking back I really did not have my shit together and the words he said "Your hearts not in this" haunted me all summer long making me at first really pissed off but then driving me to prove myself. I really thought Eugene was the biggest douche, but when i got in his class it was a totally different story. Not only a great teacher but a great guy I felt that I learned a great deal and really did prove to myself that I deserve to be at CCS. Even more this past semester I feel like Erik Olsons painting class really has helped me and also all my classmates. We all in some way grew and took something from the experience.
I now look forward to my next few years here I want to go for broke and be an animal and also crank some things out.

Back to the old drawing board. Breaks done and i've been doing nothing but painting. I had an alright break mainly hung out with my chum Mathew. Didn't see Angie at all (for shame Angie, for shame), and I hung out with a lot of people I hadnt seen in a long time like Marius and Chris and it was pretty kool. Oh and Disfits practiced once. Also I had my birthday, I am 20 years old now (woo~) dunno how I feel about all that. The day itself wasn't too bad, I rocked out to rick astley. Besides that, I had dinner with my family at Buddies, and bought hoodies and smash brother brawl. Not a whole lot going on, I'm just tired.

GO FOR BROKE!

2008-03-08T19:16:00.000-08:00

Ive been drawing like a mad man lately. I got one big picture I'm working on right now from an idea I had just sitting around in a drawing I did.

This is the first drawing I did sitting around which everyone has seen. Matt dubbed it "two piece" cuz of its similarities to the series "one piece" lol It was a direct inspiration actually. I was just trying to draw a guy stylized and different from how I normally do it and strangely and surprisingly everyone says it looks like me! haha I can kinda see it but not really.

some sketches of the girl

The big pic Im working on. Im probably going to do it in color pencils I did consider and kinda still do water colors though.

and some other random stuff. I drew mad max.

Anyway Its break time OFFICIALLY, also my birthday is in one week so get ready i bitches.

2008-03-03T20:56:00.000-08:00

Finally done. All while watching the Sarah Connor chronicles.
That show is fucking awesome by the way. If you are a fan of terminator this is the show for you.
Suck though because of the writers strike the season was drastically cut short and tonight was the final episode. REGARDLESS. I love that show it actually takes the terminator franchise seriously again. After that abortion that was RISE OF THE MACHINES, it feels good to be feeling like im watching a real continuation of my beloved Terminator 2

Day 1 of final week is OVER. Soon I will be on my vacation and at last I will destroy the Jedi and bring about the rise of the sit-....oh. where was I?

Ack, I have two blogs now! My eyebrows really hurt right now cuz I tried to pretty myself up. They look alright though at least.

Besides that whole jazz, listen here. This is my final week before the long fucking awaited and deserved spring break. After two long freezing months of constant back breaking work, we at the prestigious (Eugenes favorite word) College for Creative Studies! get to finally sleep.

Anyway, I painted a prehistoric giant frog yesterday on correl painter and Im really proud of it so check it out. The image has a bleed so parts of it are meant to be cut off in the final so thats why theres the choppy edge. Its not meant to be seen!

besides the art stuff, Ive been listening to a lot of different music lately. Mainly happy, upbeat dance music, rhythm driven schtuff. Also getting into the band Japan a lot. I really love the lead singers voice and all the arrangements are really different and fresh to me aside from the fact that they broke up over 20 years ago.

Thats all for now.

First!

Alright, first off its freezing.

Its friday one of my only days off, that is broken up regrettably by saturday class.
Obviously i really am regretting getting up tomorrow

Im now noticing how incredibly similar this is to the old livejournal.

Im going to be mainly talking about, or showing art and music on here.
